  1. Very true. It always feels like they are trying to find something bad to report when there’s nothing there.

  2. It is very much needed and it’s great we are finally sending help on this scale out there, although I do feel honestly that this feels a bit more like an excuse to finally get a proper carrier fleet out there during this unstable time. We haven’t responded in any necessary way to how China has been acting or what has happened in Myanmar. China threatening the South China Sea and it’s own minority populations, ‘we do nothing’, Myanmar’s diplomatic government is overthrown in the military coup, ‘we do nothing’, but there is another wave of Covid in India, and then we finally send our Navy!? It is good that we are responding, but it feels more like it is a more reasonable excuse/reason to get our fleet out there that can start having a more long-term presence in Asia to deal with the situation. Not complaining on that front of course. We should’ve sent the fleet out ages ago, but at least in this case we can kill two birds with one stone. Offence not intended. Does make me wonder though how many Royal Navy Destroyers will be accompanying HMS Queen Elizabeth to Japan though, as the fleet that seems to be planned to go there with her is a bit hodgepodge right now!

  3. Totally. This is one of the main reasons for why she was built. Not everything is about fighting. Sometimes it’s just about helping, and we are here to do so.
